-I'm Nicole Lee, senior associate editor for cnet.com, and this is a First Look at Pantech Pocket.
The Pantech Pocket is AT&T's second android phone from Pantech.
It is also Pantech's first ever 4G phone for AT&T.
The Pocket has a 4-inch display in a 4:3 aspect ration, which is the reason why it's so wide.
The back and on the sides here is covered in a textured material
that gives it a more durable feel in the hand.
Underneath the screen are the usual android shortcut keys for the menu, home, back, and search functions.
On the back is a 5-megapixel camera.
The Pantech Pocket ships with android 2.3 Gingerbread and is powered by a 1-gigahertz processor.
A couple of the benefits of such a wide screen is that you get a wider texting surface for the virtual keyboard.
You also get a wider browsing experience.
The Pantech Pocket should be out before the end of the year; however, pricing has not been announced yet.
